How though. It’s probably just predefined actions that are triggered by the LLM output. At the same time it would be impressive if the LLM determined the right function to call in real time, was able to deal with the ambiguity in placement of the garbage and bonus points if it could do that in a scenario that wasn’t hardcoded to exactly standing behind that table in that spot.
